Select the correct definition of displacement
the straight-line distance between the start and finish positions of a moving object
the diagonal distance between the start and finish positions of a moving object
the straight-line distance between the middle and finish positions of a moving object
the straight-line distance of a moving object
What symbol is used to represent final velocity
u
v
s
t
Rearrange v = u + at for u
u = at +v
u = at − v
u = v − at
u = atv
Select the correct unit of measure for time
minutes (min)
seconds (min)
seconds (s)
hours (hr)
What is acceleration measured in
ms−1
km per hr
ms
ms−2

Definitions of linear motion parameters
What is the correct symbol and UoM for displacement
Displacement (s) measured in metres (m)
Displacement (d) measured in centimetres (cm)
Displacement (s) measured in inches (in)
Displacement (x) measured in meters (m)
Why is it important to check the UoM of each parameter?
Because the formulas only work if all values are in the correct units
Because each parameter has a base unit
Because it looks good
It doesn't matter
